Eibsee Hotel

I recently stayed at Eibsee hotel, and my experience was a mix of highs and lows.

Pros:
1) Staff: The staff were nice and kind, and also helpful throughout my stay.
2) Prime Location: The location is unparalleled, just on top of lake Eibsee and below the tallest mountain in Germany. scoring a solid 11 out of 10! It's truly a dream location for any traveler
3) Facilities: Fantastic refreshing pool to the rejuvenating spa. Additionally, the spacious and immaculately clean rooms provided a comfortable retreat after a day of exploration.

Cons:
1) Food: We didn’t have the option to a reservation without meals, so we reserved a a 4-day vacation with breakfast and diner included, and thought we are going to eat at a nice, quality restaurant. We couldn’t be more wrong.
While breakfast was satisfactory, the lack of vegetables, and salads was noticeable. However, the real letdown was dinner. Despite the high expectations due to the hotel's price point, the food quality was below average and lacked variety. Moreover, the requirement to pay separately for beverages, INCLUDING WATER, was disappointing and even somewhat controversial.

Overall, our stay at Eibsee was excellent due to the magnificent location and landscapes, but the dining experience detracted from the overall satisfaction. If you have an option to reserve only rooms without meals I would definitely recommend it!

very kind staff. The staff let us use the wellness area after checking out at we were busy with our conference before.. Also, food was delicious, and the views are mind-blowing 🥰

The hotel is situated in a great location nestled into the mountains and with the lake in front of it. The staff working at the Hotel were great and helpful. The meals were of a high quality as were the bedding and linen in the room. Great wellness facilities. Wish we would have booked for more than one night to really enjoy the Hotel's amenities and surrounding environment.

A really especial place, the lake and views of the mountains is incredible! Also the service delivered by all the personnel from reception to the restaurant was surprisingly good. There’s good variety of activities and food to eat. Will definitely consider coming back!

Beautiful location with comfortable, big rooms. Bathrooms are of good, comfortable size as well equipped with all amenities. Soap felt of good quality and with very pleasant scent.

Breakfast is highly recommended. It had aot of options and all of good quality. Egg station had a friendly chef making eggs of preference right in front. Restaurant is with a perfect view to the lake. Likewise, sauna and swimming pool alao have the perfect view to the mountains and the Eibsee lake.

Sauna area was nice, super clean and well equipped.

Wonderful hotel, love the access and facilities provided in their beach. The SUP was super fun for me. Tasty dinner, and breakfast, even buffet afternoon tea! I wish i could stay longer!
Only feedback is that the restaurant is a bit under staff, so sometimes it takes longer to get help.

Perfect hotel in a beautiful, magnificent and unforgettable setting! The hotel itself is very comfortable, clean and strikes a nice balance between modern and countryside look. Our room was huge and the view from our balcony breathtaking.
With our booking, we had breakfast, afternoon snack (between 2pm and 4pm) and dinner included. There was plenty of choice and the menu translated in English was a nice touch, since our German is very rudimentary. The food was very good, although we would have liked more available fruit (mainly during the afternoon snack and dinner, when no fruit was available). The staff is 5 stars, everyone was very professional but also welcoming and nice.
There's an indoor heated pool, which must be great in colder months, and spa facilities, which we didn't try, because our main focus was the lake. There are also plenty of activities for kids, as we saw a kids club, the pool is kind friendly and there's even a cinema!
The best thing was the lake. The hotel has a privileged location and the views are just amazing. The water is so clear and the colours so beautiful, you have to be there to fully understand what everyone means after visiting Eibsee. There are many sunbeds available for guests and the hotel provides free SUP and kayaks, which is a big plus. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves with water sports and activities. There are also pedal boats (don't know if they're free or not, since you can also rent them nearby, but I think the hotel provides 2 for their guests). The hotel also arranged for a boat tour of the lake, and we had a package that included another one as well (in addition to an ice cream pass).
We parked our car on the main parking lot near the Zugspitze cable car, as the hotel parking was unavailable, and we didn't have to pay anything, it was included with the reservation as well.
Overall, we had an amazing time here, it's a beautiful, beautiful lake and hotel, a great value for money considering where you are and what you have included, a wonderful team (from the reception, to the restaurant, to the cleaning staff, everyone!), and you just possibly can't be disappointed. We drove almost 6 hours to get here (and back), and it was so worth it!
Magical, wonderful!!!

The location is fantastic. It was great to be close to lake Eibsee and be able walk around the lake at dawn.
Half board including afternoon snack and a single room made it affordable when otherwise it would have been out of my price range.
The room had a good view of the rainbow over the lake.

Celebrated my 78th birthday at the Eibsee Hotel. Excellent in every way possible. The Eibsee is the only lake in Germany that is family owned. The hotel is wonderful and the food is excellent. We enjoyed each meal from Breakfast, to midday snack, and three choices for evening meal served at your table. You have your choice of both served meal or buffet or both.
Highly recommend the trail to walk around the Eibsee. About 7 kilometers with plenty of benches to stop for a break and enjoy nature. God willing we will be back for each of my birthdays in the future. Our server presented me with a birthday cake on my birthday.
